Police and child protective services were called after an Ohio grandmother duct-taped a pacifier to her baby granddaughter's face in a photo that sparked outrage when it made the rounds on Facebook.

In another photo, the two-month-old was placed in a roasting pan, surrounded by potatoes.

"We're not horrible people that they are making us out to me," Jackie Sheaks told local TV station, 10TV, on Wednesday. "We put a little tape on the pacifier because we were being silly. We wanted to share it with friends because everybody that knows us, knows we play around like that."

But the Internet was not amused, and the family said they are being harassed.

So far, no charges have been laid, and Sheaks said she has learned her lesson.

"What we think is funny, other people don't (and) it will never happen again," she told the station.
